Yeah, been watching it on i-Player.  The usual Ken Burns excellence.  Sound track is on Spotify, a real trip down memory lane.

Watched the first episode which was excellent, but haven't yet found the time to watch the rest :(

Just watched episode two, Really good and some excellent original clips. Good job I don't know of a good set of Veitnam rules or I might be tempted to buy some

P.S If you do know of a good set of Vietnam Rules I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW !!!

P.P.S NO I DON'T

P.P.P.S.  REALLY NO !

Orcs,  you don't have to read this but both force on force with the Vietnam supplement ambush valley, and charlie don't surf give good games at different scales.

Charlie don't surf, you know you want to  ;)

Very reasonable to do in 10mm, pendraken have an excellent range  ;)

You could double up scenery and do indochina as well  ;)

Nope, SYW. One of the C-in-Cs was good enough to play with Bach, for heaven's sake.

Barbara was the great man's first wife. No, this was Anna, the second wife who, with Frederick the Great beat Handel and Catherine of Russia in the 1758 Wimbledon Mixed Doubles.



Thought everyone knew that?
